Our Exchange List.

As illustrating the remarkable efficien-
cy of the postal service under the pres
ent administration, we may mention the
receipt thus early of a copy of the Ulster
County (Pa.) Gazette, of Jan. 4, 1900.
We do not know how much OF the cred
it for this prompt and business-like dis
patch is due to Postmaster Mcnamara,
but we are not disposed TO be captious
because be is democrat, or to withhold
one whit of the need of praise with
which common justice would deck his
alabaster brow, and hand down his
name to posterity blazing in the light of
public gratitude for duties faithfully
performed-sr words to that effect. The
Gazette brings Us news of the death and
burial of General Washington. We
hasten to lay this sad news before our
readers ahead of the measly Cal. Re
member, We spare no pains nor expense
to secure the very latest for our readers.
Our grief over the death of poor old
General w. is not unmixed with wild
raging impulse to incite mob-because
the same medium that brings US the sad
intelligence also acquaints us with tie
fact that tbs atrocious spring poet was
on hand with his villainous production
(Which he had 'just dashed OFF, and
that as q matter of fact he did seize up
on the occasion as hollow pretext for
turning his aforesaid alleged poetical
| monstrosity loose, rampant upon an I'M
offending public. One Of the stanzas
threw US into fit of the blind staggers
When we recover sufficiently we may put
additional insurance upon our life-and
tackle the other stanZas. The one we
read burned its way into our soul in a
manner that will leave US scared and
warped for all time to come. 1t ran:
| "Where'er / turn the general
gloom appears
Those mourning badges fill
my soul with fears
Hark!-Yonder rueful noiS"!
It's doueI-'tis done
The silent tomb Invades our
Washington
And SO forth.
The General Gloom WAS probably a
subordinate military chieftian who coulf
not conceal his desire for Genera
Washington to die so that he &c. G.
might be promoted. Ills making him
self So numerous that he appeared a
every turn was reprehensible. HI
should have been more modest. Then
those "rueful noises" that So terrified thu
artistic soul of the poet just as he wa
convulsed with frenzy and rerYing him
self for flight o. imagination over
reaching those of all ambitions prede
cessors-those noises should have beer
suppressed. It they can't have bette

1t is evident that Mr. James writ OF
mandamus was unnecessary. The city
council had not really considered him
expelled-else they would have ordered
an election to fill the vacancy. They
probably expected he would resume his
place as usual after the new council had
been elected. They probably accounted
the temporary action taken as a kind of
punishment for reflections upon them.
One interesting question, however, is:
how vii: the writ affect Massrs. Smith

filled the great auditorium. =
The terrible problem of Mormou.sIA is
presented as it never has been before,

interest with which Miss Field invests
her theme. a telling point il Miss
